Club Diet Plate

Hello everyone.... I am just starting to use my diet plate as is my husband and 5 and 3/4 year old daughter! Confussed a bit with the childs plate though?! Got the protien and carbs bit, what are the rest for? ( Sorry if I sound daft!) But it is helping my daughter make healthy choices which was the aim!!! Hubby is a wee bit put off with how little carbs he is getting but i'm sure he'll be fine!!

Myself, I am loving it!!!! Lunch times are a killer though as I am terrible and dont tend to eat very much!!!!! I am aiming to lose 1 1/2 stone. Have been hitting the gym hard over the last 6months and have gone down 1 dress size, but havent dropped the weight, could it be not eating enough, who knows but will do my best to try and est more and the correct portions!!!!!!!

Hi There, Welcome to CDP amd all the way from Abu Dhabai! The Magic plate is the same calibration as the female plate and is really a healthy eating plate for pre-pubescent children.

It works the same way, the magic circle in the centre is the sauce circle,and this includes an dish that has a saucy mix, such as bolognaise, curry, strogonoff etc. The starch and protein the same as the female plate and the box of tricks is for a cheese measure.

When you have the starch and protein measured just scoot the meal to one side of the plate and fill up on the free vegetables or salad.

Of course if your child is of normal weight now, it will do no harm to let him or her have the odd suggary snack. The best advice is to reserve a day when you have a treat and that way teach good habits for life as eating chocolate or crisps everyday is not good as we all know.
